I heard that Angkor is in CambodiaSiem Reap. Fortunately, it is not too far away. It can be reached by plane in half a day. Moreover, the visa is very convenient and fast, making it an easy place to visit when traveling overseas.

I heard that Angkor was once one of the largest, most prosperous, and most civilized kingdoms in the history of Southeast Asia. It was the royal center of a Khmer dynasty at that time, with a somewhat solemn and mysterious feeling.

I heard that in the Yuan Dynasty, there was an envoy named Zhou Daguan who visited Angkor for a year and wrote "The Customs of Chenla", which described the civilization and prosperity of the Chenla Dynasty in detail. Before this, there were not many records of Angkor, including Cambodian history . It seems that apart from tourists, not many people pay attention to this place.

I heard that around 1860 AD, a French scholar who studied tropics and insects entered the jungle in the west of Cambodia and "discovered" Angkor in the tropical rainforest surrounded by layers. Cambodia soon became a French colony. I don’t know if this statement is true, maybe it is a legend for some purpose.

I heard that most of the early buildings in Angkor were made of bricks. After the red bricks were laid, carving craftsmen would make fine carvings on them. Moreover, this carving is made of bricks that are pieced together to form a volume, which is a bit like a puzzle. As time goes by, the relationship between the measurement body and the measurement body becomes loose and separated, and the sculpture has a strange power of collapsing in time. It must be the remaining broken wall, right?

I heard that most of the buildings seen in Angkor now are made of stone. Doors, statues and stairs are almost all made of stone. The stone carving art of Angkor is extremely exquisite, and the stone carvings are almost made using textile and embroidery techniques. This is a very attractive point, and I am very yearning for it.

I heard that the religious beliefs of the Angkor people are mainly Hindu. Many temples worship Shiva , which is both creation and destruction. Directly describe the various states of human nature, good and evil, light and darkness, rise and fall. It's a bit mysterious when you think about it.

I heard that there is a place in Angkor where you can see the "Khmer smiles". Those smiles, high and low, scattered at random, have been kept closed through seven or eight hundred years of disasters, famines, wars, and diseases. Eyes, just smiling faintly. I imagined that those smiles must be very interesting and eye-catching, and I wanted to go there immediately to see the "Khmer smile".

I heard that there is a Queen's Palace in Angkor. Since the stones used to build this ancient temple are all carefully carved from red sandstone, it shows a beautiful pink color. Its carvings are the most exquisite among all Angkor monuments. Like carving wood, his works are soft and delicate, with distinct lines. This place, known as the diamond of Angkor art, must be visited.

I heard that there are various temples in Angkor, such as Shengjian Temple, General Dasong Temple, Dongmei Phong Temple, Bayon Temple , Ta Prohm Temple ... These mysterious places are not Know how it feels.

also heard that Cambodia’s rural style is also very good. You can take an ox cart through Cambodian villages, see countless sugar palms, and experience Cambodia’s rural style. Maybe you'll see something else.

I also heard that there is a panoramic museum in Angkor. It is said that the total area of ​​the museum is more than 10,000 square meters, with cultural relics and picture exhibition halls, and a 1,200-square-meter 360-degree panoramic painting exhibition hall, where you can experience all aspects The legend of Angkor Dynasty .

I have heard so much about it. People who have been there say it is very beautiful. I finally went there too. It is really beautiful, poignant and magnificent. I composed a song called Moon over the West River especially for Angkor.

The ancient temple is secretly locked in the jungle, and the ruins are full of confusing vines.

A thousand years of miracles have gone through vicissitudes of life, and the Khmer Buddha’s last song is the Laughing Buddha.

I already felt the regret of the old city, only then did I know that the holy land was sad.

The broken stele angrily complains about the madness of the war soldiers and writes about the ups and downs of the dynasty.
